18-year-old Oriana Ribeiro has been crowned Miss Teen 2023. She takes over from Zoe Karsten.

Ribeiro is an advocate for a change of mindset, and she believes circumstances do not dictate one's quality of life but the way one thinks about it.

The first runner-up is Innocential Mukubi, who is also Miss Congeniality, while the second runner-up is Timicia Goeieman.

The Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (nbc) had gone all out to all 14 regions of the country to ensure that every aspiring Miss Teen had been given a chance for the first time in the event's history.

The Director General of the nbc, Stanley Similo, had words of encouragement for the young girls.
